Happy Almost End of Fashion Month!
If you were following my tweets yesterday, you’d know I was on the front lines, giving you the blow-by-blow for Kanye’s Fall 2012 Fashion Show. Afterwards, I dipped into the after party, which was chock full of celebs.

I said hey to Big Sean, who performed “Marvin Gay & Chardonnay,” “Dance (A$$)”, and other hits. He was rocking a luxurious fur hood that I couldn’t help but pet. I sidled up to Jourdan Dunn, who walked in the show. I asked her about how painful the shoes were, and she said, “They were actually ok! They fixed them!” Common was in the house, beaming in the red lights. As was cutie Kim Kardashian, who was rocking all DW by Kanye West Spring 2012. And on my way out, I ran into designer Alexander Wang. Yes, I had my IPad with me…had to give y’all first look at the show! There were tons of other fashionable people in the building, including Cassie, Diddy, Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz, Azealia Banks, and Waka Flocka Flame, who performed (to my delight!).

It was a fun end to fashion week! I have about 3 shows left on my plate, and am then taping a segment for a Swiss TV show called State of Style. Should be interesting…I’ll let y’all know when the videos are on Youtube, so you can see.
Smootches!

We’re taking a detour from the DMV today with Jayla from North Carolina:

The high school senior says, “I LOVE fashion! “

“I get so much inspiration from your blog. When I first started seeing the fashion bombshell of the day, I immediately thought to myself, I totally want to be a bombshell of the day! Like who wouldn’t?”

“My Fashion Style is very UNIQUE. I don’t think I have just one style.“

” I can go from the sexy girl in heels to the sneaker chick to the girl with a little bit of vintage swag.“

” I have a serious problem with things having to match, so most days I like to challenge myself by throwing in things that take my outfit off key”

“I am a die hard heels fan. When wearing heels, thats when I feel the most confident.”


“Overall I have a very sopisticated style.”

“In my spare time I make YouTube videos about hair and fashion. Here’s my channel http://www.youtube.com/user/GlamAholic check me out sometime and if you like my videos, subscribe :)”

Hey Jayla! You’re cute as a button. Overall, I think you dress very appropriately for your age. Only two outfits gave me pause: the distressed jeans with the fishnet stockings. And the crop top and shorts with garter tights seems a little racy, but hey, Rihanna wears garter tights, so what do I know?

Hey Guys!
So I’ve been having quite a blast in Paris, taking street style and reviewing the runway. It’s been pretty cold and gray, so have been injected my pieces with little pops of color. On day 3, I slipped on an orange tweed Chanel inspired number I copped at Topshop:

I added even more Chanel inspiration with a chain link belt from Zara:

And put a Parisian twist on my ensemble with my favorite beret:

It have to do a bit of walking, so wear low heels, like these beauts by Kurt Geiger:

It’s been a bit chilly, so I kept warm with a neutral poncho by Surface to Air:

And there you have it!
What do you think of my French ensemble?
Tonight, I’m super excited to be attending Kanye West’s DW show! Stay tuned to the Fashion Bomb Twitter for the blow-by-blow.
Smootches!

Happy Monday, y’all!
We’re continuing our DMV streak with the fab Genevia from Maryland:

She says, “I am interested in being featured as the Fashion Bombshell of the Day.”

“…I am co-founder of the image & wardrobe consulting company, Vice As If www.viceasif.com as well as a blogger for www.viceasif.blogspot.com.”

“I would describe my personal style as plain Jane with an attitude. I enjoy keeping things simple, but never too common. Things that already have personality and add to mine are the best things money can buy!”

“I find myself at lots of thrift stores, consignment shops and vintage stores.”

” Contemporary pieces are delightful too; I like mixing old with new.”

“Basically, I have fun with my clothing, and I don’t take myself too seriously. Downtown cool, always!”

Your style is cool, indeed! Didn’t we take your picture during New York Fashion Week? Give up the scoop on those pants!

We’re closing out the week with yet another DMV stylista, Chiffon from D.C.:

She says, ” My style fits into all categories.”

” It really depends on my mood.”

” My style is an exploding mood ring.“

“I am a professional make-up artist/wardrobe stylist.”


“I just started my first Fashion/Beauty blog (chiffonsparkle.blogspot.com) 5 days ago.”

” I have so many ideas and looks bubbling in my brain lab that I decided to let it explode on blogger.”


“ I am excited to do what I love.”

” My name is Chiffon Sparkle… I believe this is my destiny.”


“If I can describe myself in two words they would be : Rubiks Cube. LOL 🙂“

Hey there! Love your makeup (is that MAC Lady Danger lipstick?) and you have some great accessories. Some of your looks would be better if edited, but overall you work it!

Hey!
So I’m attempting to fly to Paris today, to catch the tail end of Paris Fashion Week. While at BET’s Rip the Runway taping yesterday, I realized I hadn’t yet featured stylista and fellow blogger Gabi Fresh from Detroit as Bombshell of the Day:

Though she’s already a very famous blogger, I figure I’d showcase a bit of her looks, for those who may not know of her. Besides, she’s the bomb!

When I asked her to describe her style, she said, “I always hate when people ask me that, because I never know how to answer!”

“If I had to describe my style, I would call it street chic.”

“I like to mix trends with thrift store finds.”

“I started my blog, www.gabifresh.com…”

“To showcase that plus size girls can wear the same trends as anyone else.”

Werq it, Gabi! I’ll consider myself thoroughly inspired. And I love how you paired the electric blue pants with that mustard leather. Fierce!
What do you think of Ms. Gabi Fresh?

Hey!
So a few weeks ago I got a call, asking me to participate in BET’s annual Rip the Runway fashion show. Normally I’d be in Paris for Fashion Week, but decided to delay my travels a bit to seize the fantastic opportunity:

This year the network asked bloggers to take part, so tapped myself along with Gabi of GabiFresh.com and Rae and Gabe of StuffFlyPeopleLike.com to help hosts Selita Ebanks and Pooch Hall introduce the show’s different segments:

Chock full of fantastic urban designs, Rip the Runway is part fashion showcase, part concert, part party–and all fun. This year, brands like Brian Lichtenberg, Sammy B Designs, La Vie, and Monif C took center stage, alongside acts like Robin Thicke, Estelle, Wale, Diggy Simmons, and Lil Kim.

It was a long and full day of taping, but it was an amazing experience. I’m so grateful to BET for having me, and can’t wait to see how I did;)
For the occasion, I decided to go bright and bold, ditching my natural hair color in favor of spring ready blond (if you’ve been reading for a while, you could say I went back to my roots):

As far as my outfit, I wanted to shimmer, so opted for an Ebony/Coral Newaz Dress from All Saints, along with a bright white BCBG Max Azria blazer, and bar III dangling earrings.

I brought out the pink tones in the dress with a pair of coral Fendi Monogram Peep Toes, and added just a pop of interest with a neon yellow American Apparel polish pedicure:

What do you think?
At any rate, it was an exciting night.

If you want to catch it, Rip the Runway will air Wednesday, March 21st at 10pm. Set your DVR’s!

Stay tuned for more red carpet pix in today’s Week in Chic.
Smootches!

We’re taking it back to the DMV today with Bombshell Dominique from DC:

She writes, “I started blogging (www.stilettoesq.com) about a month ago at the urge of some friends.”

“I’d describe my style as classic…”

“… with a twist of fun…”

“…I like to look effortlessly chic.”

” I hope to see my pics featured one day on fashionbombdaily!”

Well today’s your lucky day! I’d say you have more hits than misses. I’m not a huge fan of the cutoffs with tights, but I’m dying for your red pants and patterned pumps! That outfit is #boss.

Today’s Bombshell, Mia from North Carolina, was submitted by her friend Cecelia:

Cecelia says, “Mia has a sense of style that’s classic but has a modern twist.”

“… She effortlessly combines timeless pieces with things that may be a bit trendy and knocks it out of the park every time.”


“… Sometimes she’s laid back, and sometimes she’s a bit glamorous…”

“… but whatever look she goes for, she’s always able to make a statement.”

” She blogs at followmetofashion.blogspot.com …”

“…where she gives tips on fashion, beauty, and anything else that’s on her mind.”

“Pleeeease feature her! :-)”


OK! Classic with a twist is spot on. Love that blue dress.
What say you, Bombers and Bombshells?

Happy Monday Bombshells!
I’m in NYC for a spell before flying off to Paris! But our Bombshell Beauty keeps on ticking with Sai from Virginia:

The former Real Style subject and blogger for www.becauseIamfabulous.com didn’t provide much in terms of a style description:

She wrote, “I started blogging 8 months ago…”

“… and one of the sites that really inspired me was Fashionbombdaily!”

“I would be so flattered to be featured on here.”


” Thanks so much!”

No, thank you for a near flawless submission. You’re a diva, work those shades!!
